Keyboard usage needs a re-design
11/23/2019
JKB1970
I use this app daily on an iPhone. I see two major issues, both related to the keyboard. 1) The row of extra keys at the top of the keyboard does not work correctly on the iPhone. You are supposed to be able to slide it left and right to access all of the keys. However, about 80% of the time performing the sliding action causes the keyboard to disappear. You have to re-open the keyboard and try it again. This makes typing a *very* frustrating exercise. The sliding action needs to be removed. I would rather have two rows of extra keys. Even better, one row with a configuration option to choose the keys you want. the keys also could be made smaller. Look how small the letter keys are on the iOS keyboard. 2) The second major issue I have with this app is the keyboard appears directly over the screen content you are viewing. I have used other remote apps that use some intelligence to “zoom” the content out or slide the content up when the keyboard appears. I find myself re-adjusting and re-zooming the screen content every simgle time before I can type, then when I type I run into issue #1 above. Seriously guys, the keyboard needs work.

Fantastic App

I’m not sure if people were experiencing old bugs which have been patched, or if consumerism really has addled the minds of all. This app is FREE and works VERY well for what it is. If it works with iOS 26 upon release then I might even consider donating to the dev. I’m not sure why people are giving negative reviews. Once you learn the ins and outs of how to interact with the app(might already be obvious to you if you’re in networking, I am not and relied heavily on GPT to set up a Linux vm on a VPS etc) I use my iPad to access VM through this app predominantly, and I’m super pleased with it as a whole. I connected a K10HE wireless keyboard and an M7 wireless mouse to the iPad Air (M2 chipset) and they work beautifully inside of NoMachine as well. I haven’t yet noticed any dead clicks or keystrokes. The only negative thing I could possibly say if I really wanted to nitpick, is that on a headless Linux vm the free version is locked to 800x600. There’s even a workaround for that as well so it’s honestly more of a nitpick than a negative. I mean, they have to incentivize you to buy the app somehow 😂

Hello, Thank you very much for the 5-star review, we truly appreciate it! The headless Linux server uses a virtual desktop, and its geometry can be changed by you through a server side setting (DisplayGeometry) or by just resizing it in the Display app menu, opened from the side bar.

Lets me get my work done, iPad Pro upgrade would be great!

This is pretty well implemented, with the consideration that doing remote desktop work on a system in a completely difficult paradigm is quite difficult! I've used it successfully on an iPad Pro 10" with a Smart Keyboard Cover and now an iPad Pro 11" with external keyboard and magic trackpad, and most things have worked as expected. I'm accessing a Linux NoMachine Terminal Server, so I'm obviously spending a lot of time in gnome-terminal. Copying and pasting into and out of that to the iPad works great. With the new 11" Pro, I've noticed that the Nomachine app does not support the new screen aspect ratio; it's still displaying as 4:3, which is disappointing. Additionally, two finger click on the trackpad is not recognized; click and hold is still the right click equivalent. It would be cool to have the trackpad functions fully integrated if a trackpad is present. I noticed in another remote access application (VMware Horizon), that if an external monitor is connected, the app recognizes it and shows the remote desktop on that at full resolution, while the iPad screen becomes a trackpad. I'm not so keen on the latter part of that, but being able to put an unscaled resolution on the external monitor would also be really handy. TL;DR this is a super useful app, with the suggestions I made above, it would be even better!

Thank you for your detailed feedback! The next release will fix this bug https://www.nomachine.com/TR03Q09200 for iPad Pro users. We are also working on improvements to mouse support for iOS in general and this will also include trackpad functions.The other feature you suggested regarding the external monitor, we've passed this on to our developers who will definitely evaluate whether it's feasible. Thank you! Keep nomachining :-)

Unbelievable it’s free

Some of the reviews here are rather nitpicking in my opinion; I don’t think you can find a more fully functional or flexible remote access capability than this one. I use it to access my home machine and operate it remotely and transfer files just as easily from work as across the country or the Atlantic. I’ve even used it to shadow my wife’s machine as she presents webinars to her clients, and switch out her PowerPoint and PDF presentations so she can concentrate on her talk. I run it on a Mac Mini desktop, a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, two different iPhones and an HP Z-book. All talk equally clearly to each other as if they were together on a wired Ethernet. There really isn’t anything I can express as a negative in using this software, and I’ve been on it pretty much every day for the past six or seven years. Recommend!
